My tutoring approach is individualized, encouraging, and skill-based. I specialize in reading intervention, phonics, comprehension, writing support, executive functioning, ADHD support, autism-related learning needs, and academic strategies for students who need instruction broken into clear, manageable steps. I am skilled in assessing reading ability, identifying skill gaps, and creating both short-term and long-term intervention plans that build confidence and independence.

Families can expect a patient, structured tutor who understands that every learner has strengths. I use explicit instruction, multisensory strategies, progress monitoring, and positive reinforcement to help students feel successful while making measurable academic growth. My goal is to help students not only improve their skills, but also believe in their ability to learn.

I am a certified educator with over 18 years of experience teaching and supporting TK–8 students in classroom, small-group, one-on-one, and virtual settings. I hold a Master’s in Education with a concentration in Reading, a B.A. in Liberal Studies and Human Development, California teaching credentials in Multiple Subjects and Mild/Moderate Special Education, an Autism Authorization, and current Texas certifications in Core Subjects, Special Education EC–12, and ESL.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

As a credentialed Special Education Teacher with 18+ years of experience, I support students with ADHD by helping them build academic skills, confidence, organization, task persistence, and independence. I understand that students with ADHD often benefit from structured routines, clear expectations, movement breaks, positive reinforcement, and instruction tailored to their unique learning style. My approach focuses on meeting students where they are, reducing frustration, and helping them develop strategies that support success both in school and beyond. I have extensive experience working with students who have ADHD, executive functioning challenges, learning disabilities, and IEPs. I create engaging, supportive learning environments where students feel successful while building the skills they need to thrive academically.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I am a credentialed Special Education Teacher with 18+ years of experience supporting students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and an Autism Authorization earned following my General Education and Special Education credentials. I specialize in creating individualized learning plans that address academic, behavioral, communication, and executive functioning needs. My experience includes working with students in both classroom and one-on-one settings, helping them build confidence, independence, self-regulation, and academic success. I partner closely with families to provide practical strategies, consistent support, and meaningful progress toward each student’s goals.

Elementary (K-6th)

As a credentialed teacher with extensive experience in elementary education, I provide support across multiple academic areas while helping students build confidence and independence. I specialize in reading intervention, foundational literacy skills, language development, and individualized instruction. My lessons are engaging, encouraging, and designed to meet each student’s unique learning needs.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

I am a credentialed General Education and Special Education teacher with experience supporting students who struggle with organization, planning, time management, task initiation, self-monitoring, and goal setting. I help students develop practical executive functioning strategies that improve academic performance, independence, and confidence. My approach is individualized and focuses on building systems and routines that students can apply across school, home, and daily life. I have experience working with diverse learners, including students with ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and other executive functioning challenges.
Special Needs

Special Needs

As a neurodiversity-informed educator and coach, I understand that students learn in different ways and often benefit from flexible, individualized instruction. I work with learners who experience challenges related to attention, organization, processing, reading, and executive functioning while helping them build on their existing strengths. My tutoring emphasizes practical strategies, self-confidence, and skill development rather than one-size-fits-all approaches. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel understood, capable, and empowered to succeed.
